[postgis-users] PostGIS packaging error by Canonical for Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS / jammy?

[Marco Boeringa]

Fixed it.

The problem was that after the upgrade to Ubuntu 22.04 jammy, I was 
still running the PostgreSQL version of 20.04. This is because I 
initially had installed PostgreSQL from the PostgreSQL apt repository, 
not the official Ubuntu one. Since the PostgreSQL apt repository 
reference was not updated automatically during the upgrade to 22.04, the 
install of PostgreSQL wasn't updated as well. Updating it, now allowed 
installation of the proper version with PROJ 8.2.1 support:

POSTGIS="3.2.3 2f97b6c" [EXTENSION] PGSQL="140" 
GEOS="3.10.2-CAPI-1.16.0" PROJ="8.2.1" LIBXML="2.9.13" LIBJSON="0.15" 
LIBPROTOBUF="1.3.3" WAGYU="0.5.0 (Internal)"

Since I haven't done a lot of these Ubuntu upgrades, this aspect of 
needing to separately update the added PostgreSQL repository, had 
escaped me.

It would be kind of nice if Ubuntu upgrades offered the option to 
automatically upgrade such custom apt repository references during the 
upgrade, to avoid confusion for non-Linux experts like me, that only do 
this kind of stuff very sporadically.
